The R&B megastar Usher will have a concert in Atlanta for Project Restart, which will take place Oct. 9 at Atlanta's Philips Arena, reports Billboard.com
The concert main reason is providing housing for victims of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.
Organizers will donate 5,000 tickets to hurricane evacuees who were relocated to Georgia and public ticket sales begin today.
Usher's New Look Foundation has joined with corporate sponsors to find year-long temporary housing for 1,000 displaced families.
When I thought about what I could do to help, I decided that I wanted to do something direct and personal for the evacuees.
